At First, You Didn't Say It Was a Real Marriage

1. Yan Ning and Ji Linghan have known each other for years, but their families are bitter enemies, so the two can only be friends in secret.

Years later, the Yan family falls into ruin. To survive the humiliation, they send Yan Ning into a political marriage.

On the wedding day, Yan Ning lifts his veil and sees his hapless friend standing right in front of him.

The two stare at each other. Ji Linghan is just as embarrassed, explaining that Yan Ning's intended spouse was supposed to be someone else, but he was worried Yan Ning would suffer, so he volunteered.

In summary: It's a fake marriage. Neither has fallen for the other, and they'll get divorced.

Yan Ning eyes him suspiciously: Is that true? You'd better not have schemed all along to marry me.

Ji Linghan: Heh.

2. Once, by accident, Yan Ning and Ji Linghan spent a night together.

...Honestly, it hurt so much he wanted to die.

Yan Ning cried all night. The thought that Ji Linghan might feel obliged to take responsibility once he woke up made his vision go black.

Luckily, Ji Linghan didn't remember a thing.

Yan Ning swore to keep it secret forever and protect their pure friendship.

But the Ji family loves to kick people when they're down. One moment, they're saying Ji Linghan doesn't have long to live; the next, they're saying the two have never gotten along and are bound to divorce sooner or later.

Furious, Yan Ning slams the table. His competitive streak kicks in, and in front of a crowd he grabs Ji Linghan by the sleeve and calls him "husband" in a soft voice.

That night, Ji Linghan shakes him awake in the middle of the night. In the darkness, Yan Ning meets his blazing gaze. "Um... could you say that one more time?"

3. This fake marriage you're talking about, is it really fake?

Cool on the outside, warm within, and secretly cunning x pampered young master

Not a domineering shou. More like a chosen-one hero and his doting wife (?)

The motto of this story: This little couple takes on the whole world!

Both the gong and shou are petty, hold grudges, and fiercely protect their own.

The upcoming novel "Guess I'll Have to Be My Nemesis's Wife" is also open for follows. Come check it out!

Blurb: 1. The demon Luo Xuefu was born with the face of a jade-skinned beauty, but a vicious, venomous heart.

When his cultivation hit a bottleneck, he ambushed Cui Yundu, a prodigy of the Ruoxu Sword Pavilion, and captured him to drain his essence day and night.

But one night, his subordinates betrayed him. His scheme backfired, and he fled in disarray, only to be captured by Cui Yundu along the way.

At the critical moment, Luo Xuefu gritted his teeth, put on a stubborn, unyielding expression, glared at Cui Yundu, and declared, "I'm pregnant."

Cui Yundu's expression went blank.

2. Cui Yundu knows that Luo Xuefu is vicious and crafty, with not a shred of decency. Nothing he says can be trusted.

Even so, seeing the demon's flat stomach, he hesitates.

They face off, and Cui Yundu slowly sheaths his sword.

Luo Xuefu smiles triumphantly.

The next moment, Cui Yundu lifts him up. "In that case, we'll decide what to do after you give birth."

3. As the days pass, the demon's belly shows no sign of growing.

He can't help getting anxious, and racks his brains for a way to escape. He wakes in the middle of the night to find Cui Yundu sitting at his bedside, studying him with a piercing gaze that sees through everything:

"There isn't a baby at all, is there?"

Luo Xuefu is struck with terror.

Cui Yundu smiles faintly. "Why panic? There's still time to conceive one now."

Theme: As long as we're happy.
